The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 187 The Prince's Marriage
She knew from the very beginning that the person Zhao Yan liked was Xiao Ruan, but now that Xiao Ruan was married to Huo Xun, the person who was with him was herself, why did he still protect this bitch!

Xiao Ying tightly clenched her palm, her heart turned rapidly, and she didn't understand what went wrong.

She clearly remembered that when Zhao Yan saw Xiao Ruan in the past, he was only angry.But today, as soon as Zhao Yan approached, his eyes seemed to be glued to Xiao Ruan's body and hadn't moved away for a long time.Even though she complained to him just now, the person beside her didn't give her any comfort, just stared at Xiao Ruan...

Just as Xiao Ying frowned and thought, Zhao Yan glanced deeply at Xiao Ruan's stomach, and suddenly flung his sleeves and left.

Noticing Zhao Yan's anger, Xiao Ying knew that it was pointless to stay here any longer.She turned her head, glanced at Xiao Ruan bitterly, and finally hurried to catch up...

After everyone outside the palace gradually dispersed, Xiao Ruan let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhuyun saw her tiredness, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but her face showed an expression of disbelief: "Miss, with Duke Huai's guarantee, will Xiao Ying and Huo Yixuan dare not come to see her again?" Are we in trouble?"

Xiao Ruan looked at the gate of the palace in the distance, and saw that all the people attending the banquet had already entered the palace gate, his eyes flickered, and when he looked back at Zhuyun, the corners of his lips suddenly curled up.

"Today was really unexpected."

"Miss, do you mean you met Duke Huai?"

Xiao Ruan answered the wrong question, Zhu Yun was a little confused, and was about to ask Xiao Ruan more clearly, but she had already walked away.

The episode outside the palace soon spread to the inside of the palace. Xiao Ruan keenly felt that everyone who passed by her seemed to be able to slow down and stay away from her, as if they were worried that they would accidentally hurt her.

At the originally crowded banquet, Xiao Ruan seemed to have a isolation zone around her body, no one dared to get close no matter where she went.

Zhu Yun was amazed again and again, but Li Yun always followed Xiao Ruan with a good step, doing his duty conscientiously.

The Queen's demeanor remained the same but she did not pay special attention to Xiao Ruan like last time. Instead, she chatted with all the wives evenly, and occasionally asked the young ladies who were with her in detail.

After everyone echoed and praised, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and Xiao Ruan had lost interest in today's banquet.

Today's prince's marriage has always been the object of concern of officials in the DPRK and China.

This time, the crown prince's concubine selection is imminent, and it coincides with the empress's banquet. Anyone can see the deep meaning in it.Most of the ladies present were accompanied by one or two young girls, hoping to be selected through this banquet.

Xiao Ruan didn't know how many cold eyes she had received from Huo Yixuan and Xiao Ying, and finally sat down at the end of the banquet and was about to get up and leave.Just when she was about to leave with Zhu Yun and Li Yun, a bright yellow figure flashed in front of the rockery in the distance from the corner of her eyes.

Subconsciously looking back, Xiao Ruan immediately saw that the person on the other side of the rockery was the prince.

I saw him standing in the gap of the rockery, looking intently at the crowd from the palace, as if he was looking for something inside.

Following his line of sight, Xiao Ruan found that he was looking back and forth at the young female relatives, suddenly felt a little funny, and laughed out loud.

"Miss, what are you laughing at?"

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, Zhuyun looked around but felt that he didn't find anything, but seeing that his lady had left, he had to follow up again.

It was night, the shadows of the trees were whirling outside, and in the brightly lit Fengqi Palace, sandalwood incense was burning to soothe the gods, and the red charcoal fire made the room warm.

The golden finger cots inlaid with red coral and emeralds slid across the table, the queen picked up a bowl of bird's nest on the table, took a sip, and suddenly raised her eyes.

"Based on your observation today, which lady do you think is worthy of the crown prince?"

There was a bit of curiosity in the soft voice, the queen glanced at the man sitting across from her, and unconsciously put down the tea bowl again, as if she couldn't wait to hear what was said in front of her.

"The queen mother already has the answer in her heart, why bother to ask the son-in-law?
Zhao Yan held a bowl of hot tea in his hand. Hearing what the queen said, he unconsciously recalled the scenes he encountered during the day.

His eyes darkened, and while playing with the jasper wine glass in his hand, Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows: "What does mother think of the eldest daughter of the second room of the Korean government?"

"Second room...so it was her that you said."

The queen only pondered for a moment before laughing out loud: "This is indeed a good one. If I really marry, it will save my worries."

"There are very few women who are as stupid as her. Naturally, the queen mother can relax."

The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth became higher and higher, as if he had thought of Huo Yixuan's situation after marrying the prince.

During the day, he personally witnessed the stupidity of Huo Yixuan and Xiao Ruan when they quarreled, and he was really impressed by this woman.

It would be a great joy if the prince could have such a stupid woman by his side.

Seeing that Zhao Yan's eyes were always bright, the queen nodded, and immediately asked someone to make arrangements, and then turned her gaze away unconsciously.

"I will make good arrangements for this matter, but if you have something to do outside the palace, you must have someone send a message to the queen mother at any time. We mother and son will discuss it carefully before making a decision. We must not provoke the emperor's anger again. Remember ?”

The surroundings were quiet, and the "cracking" sound of the candle burning was clearly audible.

Suddenly hearing the Queen's earnest instructions, Zhao Yan paused, and immediately knelt down and thanked the Queen very seriously: "The child was too impulsive before, but fortunately there is a mother to deal with it, and it is not certain that I will not make such mistakes again in the future."

Zhao Yan was eager to get rid of Huo Xun at that time, and it was revealed that Huo Xun lied about his military achievements. The emperor secretly investigated and found out that Zhao Yan was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Now Zhao Yan can only act in a low-key manner, not daring to take the lead easily.It is reasonable for the queen to have such persuasion, so he naturally needs to keep it in mind.

The wind that came in from nowhere blew the flame on the candlestick to this side
For a moment, the expressions of the two people in the room were all hidden in the shadows, unable to see clearly.And the outside of the room was as dark as ink, and the stars had long since disappeared...

After Xiao Ruan returned to Hou Mansion, Zhu Yun immediately told Huo Xun about the experience in the palace.

Knowing that Xiao Ruan asked Zhao Yan to make a guarantee, Huo Xun immediately showed surprise, and said after a long time: "It seems that people have really been talking about it, and there are indeed actions in the palace today."

Turning his head and glanced at Li Yun beside Xiao Ruan, Huo Xun was afraid for a while, if Li Yun wasn't present, Xiao Ruan would be murdered again.

"Yes, today's trip does have some gains."

A strange look flashed across Xiao Ruan's eyes, he paused for a moment, and then raised his head again, with a hint of seriousness in his expression unconsciously.

"Before I always guessed that the person who advised Huo Yixuan must be Xiao Ying, but today it seems that it is not her. Maybe this time it is indeed the second wife Huo Yixuan. But according to Huo Yixuan's behavior, I really don't believe that she has such a scheming and the city."

Except for Lu and Xiao's family, Xiao Ruan's pregnancy was not announced to the outside world with great fanfare. Huo Yixuan knew that it was not a strange thing that she was pregnant.But Xiao Ruan thought about the matter at the gate of the palace during the day, and felt that Xiao Ying didn't know that she was pregnant before.

She still remembered Xiao Ying's shocked expression when she heard from Zhu Yun that she was pregnant.

In this way, she naturally would not think of helping Huo Yixuan use musk to murder herself and the child in her belly.

But if it wasn't Xiao Ying, who would be the one who advised Huo Yixuan?

Could it be that Huo Yixuan really figured it out by herself?
Xiao Ruan had doubts, and Huo Xun did not quite understand.

During this period of time, he has been busy with the arrangement of the prince. Ever since he found out that Huo Yixuan secretly used the Liu family to murder Xiao Ruan, he always thought that the second wife did not want to see him well, so he acted accordingly.Hearing Xiao Ruan's words at this time, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have missed something.

Frowning, he heard Xiao Ruan's slightly cold voice, and seeing her unconsciously put her hands on her abdomen, Huo Xun's eyes darkened, and he immediately took her into his arms.

"Don't think too much about it. I'll ask someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Just rest assured and raise your baby."

Huo Xun's broad chest always gave Xiao Ruan an inexplicable sense of security, and the warm touch spread from his hands to his heart.Xiao Ruan raised her face and looked at Huo Xun's concerned eyes for a long time, then nodded in a strange way.

Since Huo Xun is by her side, she will be a docile little woman.Let him prop up a hut for herself, she really should take care of her baby...

In the following time, Xiao Ruan has basically never been out of the Hou's mansion, and has been cultivating in the mansion.The queen held a banquet again, but Xiao Ruan also let Huo Xun shirk it.

The queen's banquet was just for the prince to choose a concubine. Lu Heng didn't dare to show up in the palace because he beat the prince last time, so that Xiao Ruan didn't even have a companion to talk to in the palace. The room was comfortable.

And just half a month later, the empress unexpectedly held a banquet in the palace for the third time, this time the reason was that the empress had arranged it at will.

It is said that it is intended to select a person with both talents and talents from among the noble girls in Beijing and promote them as the princess, so as to encourage the girls in Beijing to show off their talents.

When all the officials heard about this, they all sang or chanted about the queen's actions, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the leader selected this time was probably the destined princess.

Xiao Ruan is not a person who likes to watch the excitement, but after hearing this news, she really wants to enter the palace to watch the excitement.

"It's just a group of girls competing with each other. What's so exciting? I won't go."

When Lu Heng came to see Xiao Ruan, seeing Xiao Ruan invited her to go with him, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"It's interesting because all the ladies from Jingzhong go to the palace to perform. Don't you wonder which lady will win the first prize?"

Xiao Ruan clearly saw that Lu Heng was very interested in this, but when she saw her dismissive expression, she was speechless.

"Could it be that you are still thinking about avoiding the prince?"

"Wow, no way!" Lu Heng's face suddenly turned red when he mentioned the crown prince.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan was amused, and said to her thoughts: "Really? I don't know who dared to go to the palace and pretended to be sick twice. Do you really think I don't know what you are thinking?"
